Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE in 2012 garnered one of the biggest crowd reactions of all time, as the atmosphere was electric when the fans witnessed a legitimate fighter in Lesnar bring back credibility to the product.

But this was not the Lesnar they knew from 2003, as his entire style changed from a devasting powerhouse to a more limited lethal ass-kicker, and that was fine for the most part.

But Lesnar’s opponents couldn’t get much out of him with his new found style, that is why his matches with Braun Strowman, Dean Ambrose and even Roman Reigns were uninspiring snoozefests. But there were a select amount of stars that actually brought the best out in Brock, and those were AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and CM Punk.
